History Curriculum Overview

At Henry Hinde School, our History curriculum is designed to develop children’s understanding of History by instilling curiosity about inspirational people and events that helped shape and change the world as we know it now.

The order of historical units has been chosen based on pupils’ understanding, engagement and age-appropriate content. This means we are able to develop the children’s chronological understanding as well as being mindful of their ability to understand complex ideas.

Each year group is given the opportunity to experience an inspirational enrichment activity linked to their topic. In previous years these have included; Bosworth Battlefield, The British Museum, Compton Verney and Bletchley Park.
